Afternoon Bible Study
If we were to ask 100 people to describe God's character, we would get 100 completely different answers. We might get answers like God is love, God is good, and God is fair.

The Bible says that we are all made in the image of God. Although we may not look alike, dress alike, or even think alike, the fact remains that God created each of us in our uniqueness.

Still, no matter how different we are or how alike we may think or act, this afternoon's verse in Isaiah reminds us that our thoughts are not God's thoughts, and our ways are not His ways.

Could you imagine what the world would look like if we had made it? It's impossible to imagine because we don't have the ability to think in the same way that God thinks.


God sees the beginning and end of time and everything in between. He sees the result of every decision that we have made or ever will make. That alone gives Him insight that we can't possibly imagine. We're simply not capable.

When Jesus walked the earth, He gave us a small glimpse into the mind of God through His actions, His words, and His sacrifice for us. But there's still so much that we don't know--and don't need to know because God has everything under control.
Afternoon Prayer
Heavenly Father, I pray for the things that I worry about, and ask that you help me to remember that you have everything under control. Help me to trust in your ways and lay my will at your feet. In Jesus's name, amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Verse
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Acts 4:12 (KJV)

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study
"Depending on the role we are playing, each of us has more than one name. At our jobs, we have a title. At home, we are husband or wife, or mom or dad. To our parents, we are son or daughter.

Names are important, and they distinguish us from each other.

In Acts 4:12, Paul says that salvation is found in no one other than the name of Jesus. In another verse, John 14:6, we read: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

"


Other religions point to prophets and leaders who offer a way to enlightenment or a path to God. However, when their leader died, they remained dead and in the grave. Jesus is the only one who died, and after three days was resurrected.

It may sound arrogant for Christians to say that Jesus is the only path to God, but it is the basis of the Christian faith. It also serves as an imperative to share the Gospel until the whole world has heard the name of Jesus.

Jesus is the only perfect Lamb of God, who took away the sins of the world. Therefore, He is the only one who can offer salvation to anyone who accepts Him.
Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer
Dear Lord, nothing in this life can save me--not my job, family, church, education, or good works. The world tells me that there are many paths to God, but I acknowledge that Jesus is the only way to salvation. I am so grateful for your sacrifice for me. Help me share the Good News of the Gospel with everyone I meet. In Jesus's name, amen.
